Economic Development in Wilmington, IL.
|
Wilmington is a city on the move! Strategically located along I-55 in the southwestern section of rapidly-growing Will County, Wilmington is about 15 minutes from Joliet and less than an hour from Chicago. Yet, Wilmington maintains its small town charm and remarkable quality of life.
Wilmington has a population of just over 5,200 and is home to many large and small businesses, ranging from quaint shops in the historic downtown area to large, modern warehouse/distribution facilities.
Businesses looking for a home in Wilmington will find a variety of commercial and industrial sites, all serviced with high-quality Kankakee River water. Some sites have rail service available, and all sites have easy access to Interstate 55 and Route 53.
Businesses in Wilmington enjoy a top-notch pool of workers from Will, Cook, Grundy and Kankakee Counties …everything from skilled trades to advanced research and development professionals. Many colleges, universities and vocational facilities are located nearby to assist with training and education. And then there is the strong Midwest work ethic, which is second-to-none.
Wilmington is a forward-thinking community that believes in investing for the future. A new high school is being built and should be open in early 2008, and a modern wastewater treatment plant is scheduled for completion, also in 2008.
It all adds up to a vibrant community with everything necessary for growing and prosperous businesses…like yours! For more information on how the City of Wilmington can give you strong returns on your business investment, contact Sheryl Puracchio, City Administrator, at extension 232
